Regarding M8 (assuming its still the same M8 I sent you), I started thinking about the atmosphere system a little more. One option, would be to chose a skybox and and no nebula effects, however since Narn was bombed recently, and the atmosphere is likely thick with dust, I feel that a nebular environment, coupled with the groundscape and perhaps a few structures, would work best. Granted, the atmosphere should be thinner than your average nebula, and sort of dull red in color. I'd also suggest a red sun. Is it possible for a textures replacement to be made for the groundscape to be red as well? It would need to be included in the final VP.
Later!
